An existing swimming pool in the Reading is reaching the end of its viable life and a demountable pool is required by October 2017 as a temporary replacement whilst a permanent solution is sought. The demountable swimming facility will be an extension to the rear of the existing leisure pool and will be managed by Greenwich Leisure Ltd (GLL) who operates the leisure centre on behalf of the Council. The proposed layout of the facility is to include: • 25m\*10.5m\*1.2m training pool • 10m\*13m\*0.9m teaching pool • Changing accommodation • Associated plant and storage The Centre is located near the River Thames and was built in 1987 on the site of a disused 1970’s domestic tip. Recent ground investigations have recommended the use of piling as part of the foundation strategy to allow for the floodplain and landfill issues associated with the site. Currently the scheme is at Feasibility stage and we are looking for contractors who believe they are capable of providing a full design and build service and are interested in carrying out all the associated design and construction works to open a demountable swimming facility by October 2017. The total project value including all design fees, construction and fit-out costs is £1.8million and we are looking for suitable contractors to provide the demountable swimming facility within this financial envelope. Contractors who believe they are capable of fulfilling these requirements should notify Reading Borough Council of their interest in writing.
